Mimi's Cafe

I haven't been to Mimi's Cafe in a long time even though it practically is around the corner from where I live.  I got upset with them a couple of years ago as they would not honor a coupon (not expired) and rather than please the customer, they chose to alienate me and a friend.
So they say "Time Heals"......and I guess I was on the road to recovery.

Sandi and I were gallivanting last week and it was getting late in the evening; we had not eaten dinner and tough we were not very hungry, we thought we needed nourishment. We ended up at Mimi's Cafe.
We decided to each have a cup of the Original Corn Chowder Soup. It was nice and creamy though I could not decide if it was better than the corn chowder of Polly's Pies. They also served us some French bread together with their homemade carrot raisin nut bread served with a some very good butter.

We shared an appetizer: Artisan Baked Brie which was a warm and bubbly brie cheese served with French baguette, tart apple slices and apricot chutney. What a perfect combination especially after it was all assembled for our consumption. The tartness of the apples was subdued by the sweet apricot chutney and the brie bound them together nicely.

These all didn't seem much to eat but somehow our tummies were very happy and we had no guilt as we considered our meal as "light". Mimi's Cafe has several locations. We went to the one on 25343 Crenshaw Blvd. in Torrance, California. They are open everyday from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm except on Friday and Saturday wherein they stay open till 11:00 pm.
